My first time restuffing one of this type, but it worked great, using the technique a saw in a YouTube video. And by using two Ceramic Y2 caps, they both fit inside easily. Just with I could find ceramic Y2's for .10 value for other radios to save space. The big square ones take up a lot of room.

I didn't read down Chuck's list far enough. Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Clarence
